Devinder Shory (Sorry?), Calgary Conservative MP has been implicated in a massive mortgage fraud scam which just came public in the last couple of days. So far, all we know, is that Shory's name is supposedly all over the Bank of Montreal evidence documents. His own legal firm account is supposed to have been used to "clear" some of the funds. He is also supposedly good friends with some of the main conspirators in the massive fraud.

Same old Tory, same old story...

How many Conservative scams will it take before we turf these guys...?

Again... When will you blog trolls "get it"??? Adscam was low level nobodies, and a lot of former Conservatives - including the ad firms themselves (Yes, they were also used by the previous Con government of Mulroooooney)...

All the current Conservative scams/frauds/scandals, (and they're mounting) involve ELECTED officials, or Cabinet Ministers, MPs, or all three!

Again - Larry - you're embellishing the truth a little there... Low lying Libs from one Province - one group really - who had functioned together as Conservatives (who knows what they really are now), were padding their careers/notoriety by outfundraising each other - in hopes of personal reward.

In the Conservative case - I REPEAT - we have top ELECTED officials - sitting and very recent MPs, potentially CABINET level implicated.

If the "leadership" of a party is so corrupt, then how does it reflect on the Conservative Party? These are the "movers and shakers" in the party - not just low level fundraisers. THE Ottawa "power couple" - with "access" to lobby perhaps? Now, a Con MP from Calgary implicated in this?

C'mon - you're grasping at straws.

One more thing: comparing these two things is pointless. We're talking about THIS Conservative government, and THIS Conservative Party vs. THIS Liberal Party. If you want to talk about past things, then let's talk about the greatest crook of them all... Mulroooooney...

Oh yeah - saying that "so-and-so did it too" is NOT an excuse for immoral, or illegal action. It just isn't. Based on your principles (and seemingly Conservative "principles") we could all just go rob banks, because "so-and-so" did it. That's just a ridiculous non-argument.

Gee Larry, you guys rode to your first election victory stating categorically that you would be different from the Liberals.

Now you seem to be demonstrating that you are not different.

Many Conservative supporters howled with self-righteous outrage when the Liberals found themselves mired in some ethical lapses. Do you not feel the same outrage now that the Conservatives are mired in their second ethical scandal in a month?

I would not believe that you would apply such a double standard that what is bad for the Liberals to do is OK for the Conservatives.

You would not do that would you Larry?

BTW, I have no problem with Conservatives still supporting their party despite the scandals. I was royally pissed at the Liberals when the full extent of the wrongdoing by those folks in Quebec was revealed but in the end I supported the Liberals.

I am just looking for the same level of outrage from Conservatives towards these Conservative scandals as we saw with Liberals scandals.

"I'd also like to know if these mortgages were before or after Shory's election as a representative of the people."

Before, according to media reports.

I will be interested to see if Harper will have Shory sit outside of caucus until he has proven his innocence - or is guilty. After all, he removed Geurgis & so far nothing has been found with her yet. Plus she has been removed, now, from being a Con candidate in her riding.
